The Cave King will live a Paradise Life -Becoming the strongest with the mining skill?-

"I own a tool that allows me to mine."

"... Huh?

I look around.

But no one.

No, I'm telling you, they're all corpses.

Instead, it was in the cave but it didn't echo...

Besides, it feels more like it's ringing directly on my head than on my ears.

I don't talk, I think in my head.

... Say it again

"I own an item that can be mined. Do you want to start mining?:

Again, he's talking in my head.

... Who are you?

"This is an advisory function by the crest [Cave King]. It's not living.:

[Cave King]... It's the crest I was born with.

I've been in the royal palace almost all my life and never went to a cave, but I didn't expect this to work.

Other effects by [Cave King] …

The advisor answers as if he had drawn my intentions.

"At this time, in addition to the advising function, there are mining skills enhancement and auxiliary effects. Also, there are each ability, skill rank improvement that is effective in the cave:

There are a lot of words I can't hear...

In other words, should I consider it the upper version of [Miners]?

Those with the [miner] 's crest gain only the mining skill lifting effect.

And only [Cave King], he can be strong in the cave.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure he specializes in mining.

It's too tight on the bed just here, so why don't you dig it up a little?

... What if I told you I was going to start mining?

I understand. Mining Aid Effect Begins Mining Optimization:

... Optimization? Huh?

I notice countless white lights floating on the walls of the cave.

Why are you glowing?

"The white light part is the part that is recommended to be tapped with a pickel. Calculated to easily destroy walls and prevent further collapse:

"Heh. Well, why don't you slap me"

I'll knock on the spot with a pickel, quick.

Then in one go, I could dig out as many rocks as a man's head.

There was less impact on my arm, and apparently the advice is certain.

"Instead, it's in the cave, but it's slightly bright... is this an auxiliary effect too?

Yes. It's a dark vision effect.

"Right. I think I can go on with this... let's just make some space for my bunk"

Again, I slap rock walls with a pickel.

I know where to dig so I can dig out in rhythm.

How comfortable the sound of the rocks collapsing.

"Something's... It's getting fun..."

I was passionate about mining.

I also forget about the bedding, and keep digging many times that.

My feet were soon filled with rocks.

No, I mean... more and more you can dig in one go?

It's like the rocks I dug out are getting bigger.

"Mining volume is increasing due to a 10 increase in the rank of mining skills."

I don't know, but you're getting more skilled, right?

But with more digging, my feet...

"Do you want to collect Rock × 168?:

Collect it?

The effect of the crest [Cave King] allows you to store minerals regardless of their weight.

Hmm. Where?

"Answer not allowed."

Yes... is there an effect on the human body or can't take it out anymore?

No effect on the human body. You can retrieve it from time to time:

Then please...

When I thought about it, the rocks I dug out glowed and disappeared somewhere.

Recover "Rock x 168". Create Inventory:

The following information pops up on my head.

◇ Inventory

Rock x 168

"... su, wow"

I recovered all that rock at once, albeit exclusively minerals...

Besides, the criteria are unknown, but they quantified it.

"There is also the ability to automatically collect mined items. Do you want to start automatic collection?:

Please...!

Exactly because it runs out.

This means we can concentrate on mining.

I play more and more pickles with my nose.

But the rock reef is small, so if it stays like this, you'll be right across the street.

So it's time to start digging downwards.

The minerals that fall at your feet disappear instantly wrapped in light.

Automatic collection...... how easy.

If you notice, the outside light is far away.

According to the advisor, from the mining start point, he was digging 10 m (m).

the unit "m" is my first ear but i just wish i could remember 1m.

And before you know it, there's all sorts of things in the inventory.

They even have iron ore and copper ore...... gold ore.

Of course, there's no seller. The status quo, it's not worth the money.

Also, not just the ore I found out about, but some I wasn't used to.

"... crystal?

Launch the mining aid function and the ore atlas. Crystal… Grants the user the benefit of increased retention magic. The increase is due to the size of the stone.:

You said you could increase your magic?!

So you can increase my less magic too?

What have I been struggling with...

Drop your shoulders, but I'll find another mine.

What's Turtlestone over here?

"Turtlestone... can increase life by one day by using it."

... Ju, life expectancy?!

I can't keep up with all the understanding.

It was also surprising how easy it was to mine so far, but I didn't expect to get any unusual stones so far.

This Cheol Rock Reef... isn't it actually a hell of a lot of territory?

Anyway, I've never seen anything so funny in my life.

Still further back, something else might be asleep...

"...... Yikes ahhh!! We'll dig. Ooh!!

Such curiosity makes me shake Pickel like crazy.

Only one person shouted in a dark cave and rejoiced with his hands up whenever there was a harvest.

"Ruby, huh?... this is a sapphire?!

As soon as I realized, I'd forgotten to look for a ship to go by, and I was just passionate about mining.
